Medical Conditions - Spondyloarthropathy

Spondyloarthropathy is a group of inflammatory diseases that attack the bones in the spine and the joints of the arms and legs. People with spondyloarthritis often experience low back pain, pain and swelling in joints of the arms and legs. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-TNF drugs (TNF blockers), and anti-IL-17 drugs (IL-17 blockers) help reduce pain and swelling in spondyloarthritis.
